I WONDER

Today a news reporter wrote in his commentary: “It made me wonder: What were they shopping for? Christmas gifts? They didn't show much Christmas spirit. When store officials ordered the mob out of the store because someone had died, many called it unfair, because they said they had been waiting hours to shop. The terrorist attack in India will cause us to redouble our anti-terrorist efforts, and economic recovery plans are already in the works. But shouldn't the death of that poor sales clerk give us some pause as well? If we have become a people so self-centered that we are willing to step over a lifeless body to get a bargain, we have problems that go beyond terrorists, a credit crunch and bad mortgages. Surely we can do better than that.”

On Saturday a cousin passed away. He was known to the Radio and Rock & Roll World as a legacy. To me he was family, our mothers sisters. The odds of him knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior were slim to none. He wanted nothing to do with his family – over the years he lost literally billions of dollars several times over, multiple wives and lost the battle with lung cancer.
On Sunday, I talked with another cousin, who sits and waits for death to come. She has renal disease and chooses to take no treatment. She has confined herself to her home and spends the day reading and waiting.
As we have entered the Holiday Season for 2008, I wonder if the angels themselves weep over us. As they stand and see us .literally throwing caution and poor judgment to the wind, individual and family values are at an all time low. What will be our wakeup call? Do the majority of us even know who the Spirit of Christmas is?

In my heart, I hear the ring of those words spoken so ever long ago “Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” The Kingdom of God is at hand. The Kingdom of God is at hand.

For it is not the babe in the major nor is it the shepherds, nor the Wise men – The Kingdom of God are at hand and we have better get our lives in order. For Abba Father has had enough of the mess, enough of the lukewarm ho-hum attitude from His Children. We have aligned ourselves too long with the agenda of the enemy himself. We have turned our backs on the Truth and licked our wounds and demanded that we are owed and deserve and our rights have been infringed on.
The madness must stop and stop now. For The Kingdom of God is at Hand. Repent for our Savior is mounting His White Horse. . . . . . . I wonder are you ready to face The Bridegroom or is the oil gone from your lamp? I wonder?
